Accelerated Swift makes the compiler part of the lesson
A paid native macOS app teaches Swift through exercises that compile, run, and receive graded feedback on the learner’s machine.
Field notes
Exercises are written in a built-in editor and compiled with the Swift toolchain on the learner’s machine, then checked against actual output rather than multiple-choice answers. The visible curriculum includes Strings, JSON and Codable, SQLite, concurrency, and CryptoKit, with two free modules and a $19.99 purchase option. The page also describes live output for a parallel Mandelbrot render and labels additional topics, including networking and a mini service, as coming soon.
